Schedule the exams

In the approval email sent to you by PMI, there is a PMI Eligibility ID allowing you to schedule PMP exam at the Prometric website. Prometric is a global provider of testing services . You can also find the Eligibility ID on the PMI website after you have logged in your account.

From the prometric home page, search for or select the name of the test you want to take. You’ll be brought to the “home page” for the organization whose exam it is. Click “Get started” and simply follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

You’ll go through a handful of easy steps that will include finding a test center where your exam is available, entering your personal information, supplying eligibility information and payment screens.

Prometric testing center regulations

1. You will be continuously monitored by video, physical walk-throughs and the observation window during your test. All testing sessions are video and audio recorded.

5. You must not talk to other candidates or refer to their screens, testing materials, or written notes in the test room.

6. You must not use written notes, published materials, or other testing aids, except those allowed by your test sponsor. (The TCA will refer to the applicable client practice for allowances.)

7. You are allowed to bring soft ear plugs (with no wires/cords attached) or center-supplied tissues in the test room.

8. Any clothing or jewelry items allowed to be worn in the test room must remain on your person at all times. Removed clothing or jewelry items must be stored in your locker.
